Focused on the time period when Motonaga was an active member of the Japanese avant-garde collective Gutai, this exhibition highlights Montonaga’s transition from existential concerns to pop culture and children’s book references. He used these not in a critical way, but to create a new language of painting through these references.

Whitney’s signature style of stacked blocks of color have been redefined in a new way of airiness and liveliness. This exhibition reveals Whitney’s appreciation and dedication to color and how important color is to him.

Tschäpe’s paintings illustrate incredible ability to use delicate mediums on a large scale, creating a style of abstraction that demonstrate transitioning and change of organic forms. She uses color, form, and allusions to landscape and memory to create the evocative pieces seen in this exhibition.
